Erich Steininger

duration 13. June bis
05. September 2010

Opening Sat, 12. June 2010

No other Austrian artist since 1945 has been devoted so exclusively to the woodcut as Erich Steininger. He began exploring this pictorial technique as early as his studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Marked by the expressionist woodcut he focused over many years on themes such as landscape, people and the natural world. Since the 1990s he has developed abstract working methods based on the principle of the woodcut line, placing special emphasis on the immanent possibilities of the woodcut. Steininger fascinatingly shows how even a seemingly old pictorial technique may achieve an exciting topicality.
The Landesmuseum Niederösterreich is dedicating the first comprehensive museum exhibition to this artist, while simultaneously presenting etchings and drawings.
Curator: Carl Aigner
